"Lao Bai, I got off work so early today."

"Hello Director Bai".

"Director Bai, go home."

……

Thinking that his daughter would go home today, and Bai Xue's mother called again in the afternoon, Bai's father packed up his things and went home as soon as he got off work.

Bai's father's full name is Bai Guoqiang, and such a name was due to the atmosphere at the time.

In those days, it was not one or two that were called strong and rich, not to mention each village, at least there were several in each town, and how many towns were there in the country?

As the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Bai Guoqiang completely relied on the college entrance examination to achieve a class leap.

From a farmer's child to a public food eater.

Although Bai Fuqiang only graduated from an ordinary university undergraduate, neither Huaqing University nor Kyoto University, but at that time, as long as he was a college student, he would not worry about not being important when he went to the unit.

So although it doesn't matter, Bai Guoqiang has also been promoted to a department-level cadre in just over ten years.

But at this time, the disadvantages of no relationship began to show.

Generally speaking, middle- and low-level cadres could go up by virtue of their own efforts in the eighties and nineties, but the higher they go, the more obvious the importance of relationships becomes.

Generally speaking, people from ordinary families, in addition to finding a good wife, or having worked as a secretary for a big leader, have someone to support, otherwise they will basically end up at the department level, and they will go up to the next half level if they die.

Bai Guoqiang is a typical case, after being successfully promoted to the division level, he has been rolling in many positions at this level for more than ten years, but he can't go further.

Bai Guoqiang has already resigned himself to his fate.

……

"It must be my dad coming back", when Bai Xue heard the sound of someone opening the door, she said to Jiang Hui, who was still chatting with Bai Xue's mother.

As soon as Bai Xue finished speaking, Bai Guoqiang Liu pushed the door and came in.

"Uncle is back", Jiang Hui got up and said to Bai Guoqiang.

"Xiao Jiang is here, when did you arrive?", Bai Guoqiang said as he put his briefcase on the shoe cabinet at the door.

"It hasn't been long since I arrived," Jiang Hui said.

"They came back before two or three o'clock", Bai Xue's mother took over.

"I heard Xiaoxue say that you are holding a new production line offline ceremony for Gphone today, I thought I would be free to come back in the evening", Bai Guoqiang walked to the sofa opposite Jiang Hui and sat down.

"Let's talk, I'll go to the kitchen to cook," said Bai Xue's mother.

"Mom, I'll help you."

"No, you can accompany Xiao Jiang to chat with your father."

"After the morning ceremony, a simple luncheon was held. When the leaders have retreated, Xiaoxue and I will leave first," Jiang Hui said to Bai Guoqiang.

"I heard that your glorious mobile phone is now a treasure in the Shenzhen market, and it is already the third in the tax ranking."

"Dad, I'll just say if you think Gphone is good or not", Bai Xue interjected.

Since the launch of Gphone, Bai Xue has given a high-end Gphone to her parents and some close relatives.

"At first, I was a little unaccustomed to it, and I thought the operation was too complicated, but after using it for a while, if I was asked to use my previous mobile phone again, it would be like staying in our country for a long time and now being sent to live in North Korea, and I can't adapt to it."

Bai Guoqiang's generation had a relatively deep impression of North Korea.

When they were in college, or even just after they graduated, objectively speaking, the living standards of the Korean people were much higher than those of the Celestial Empire.

The economic foundation of the DPRK was laid during the colonial period of the island country, and the colonizers mainly carried out industrial construction in the north and arranged agricultural production in the south according to the characteristics of the mountainous area in the north and plains in the south, so after the defeat of the island country in 1945, the economic foundation of the northern Korean was much better than that of the southern Korea.

At present, the media is blowing up the "miracle of the Han River" created by Park Chung-hee, but few people know that before the 80s of the last century, the per capita GDP and living standards of the DPRK surpassed that of the ROK, so before the 80s of the last century, the overseas Koreans and South Koreans in Japan often returned to the DPRK to settle down and live, which is in stark contrast to the current North Koreans who have "fled to the north" one after another.

In South Korea during the same period, the government banned foreign food and foreign cigarettes by encouraging citizens to snitch each other, and sweatshops and slums were everywhere in South Korea.

At that time, our country was dwarfed by North Korea.

The per capita GDP of the Celestial Empire in 2003 only surpassed that of the DPRK in the 80s of the last century, and in 1978, the per capita GDP of the DPRK was even three times that of China, and in the fifties and sixties of the last century, the products of the DPRK were also very popular in China.

There's a reason for that.

North Korea's economic development in the past was based on the bipolar confrontation of the Cold War, and because the DPRK was a front-line country and stood on the front line against the United States, Japan, and South Korea, it continued to receive cheap aid from the Soviet Union, and even the poorer Celestial Empire tightened its belts to support.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, North Korea's economy was cut off from Soviet aid, and its economy was suddenly unruly – there was no oil, power generation plummeted, and the annual fertilizer output of the Hungnam plant, a key fertilizer plant that was the lifeblood of North Korea's agriculture, fell from 1.2 million tons to 350,000 tons, and grain production was insufficient.

At this time, the DPRK discovered that it had neither foreign exchange to buy oil nor foreign exchange to buy grain, but wanted to earn foreign exchange through exports, and the DPRK's industrial products happened to coincide with the great increase in exports of the Celestial Empire during the reform and opening up, and it was not at all a rival of the Celestial Empire's products in the international market, nor could it obtain the slightest foreign exchange.

In this way, a famine broke out in Korea in the 90s of the last century, and since then it has been getting farther and farther away from the Celestial Empire.

"You know that Gphone is great to use, and so are other consumers. Word of mouth, coupled with the fact that we have no real opponents in a short period of time, Gphone must be very easy to sell, and the output value is not high", Bai Xue said after her father's words.

"Then your income this year should be quite good, right? Hundreds of millions of taxes a month."

"In someone's words: count the money until you have cramps", Bai Xue glanced at Jiang Hui and said with a smile.

Guanghui mobile phone in 2007 comprehensive turnover is estimated to reach 800 ~ 110 billion yuan, according to the current rate of return, even if the equipment, plant land and other expenses are allocated to this year, there are at least two or three billion profits.

This ability to absorb gold, looking at the Celestial Empire, except for several major banks, mobile and other large central enterprises, there is really no other company that can compare.

With the Korn Ferry Group of Korn Glory Mobile and Korn Ferry Games, plus the windfall of Korn Ferry Investment in the stock market and oil futures market.

The current Guanghui Group is really counting the money and counting the cramps. After the financial crisis expanded, it went to various parts of the world to start the acquisition model and completely laid the industrial foundation of the Korn Ferry Group.

"Is it so profitable to make mobile phones? Doesn't it mean that the profit margin of the real industry is very low?", hearing Bai Xue's words, Bai Guoqiang said with some doubts.
